We didn't need to spend over the top with our co-op dollars. We didn't need to buy the press off for their four-star raves or to have Joan perform on the likes of Letterman, The Tonight Show, Crossroads and Good Morning America. We didn't need to bribe Melissa Etheridge and The H.O.R.D.E. tours to take Joan out with them. We just had to release the album. Since its release, Relish has already sold 200,000 units. So, now that we've seen that we have something here, we're going to release our first single, r "ONE OF U • We don't think we'll need to do too much. Heatseekers 15 - 13!

WKLC +9, KSHE +9, WZAT +8, KMOD +8 but I can't think of an album entirely written and performed by an established rock drum- mer (Lenny Kravitz performs his records mostly by himself, but he did not begin his DAVID BO WIE • The Hearts Filthy Lesson (VIRGIN) +147 recording career as a drummer).

Instead, the gig had the warm feeling one might get as a teenager watching approvingly as a friend's band jams in the garage. On guitar and vocals, Grohl unleashes the LENNY KRAVITZ • Rock And Roll Is Dead (VIRGIN) +113 same whirlwind energy he managed while pounding the drumskins for Nirvana. Foo Fight- WROC + 15.

The incredible thing is that the Foo Fighters have the feel of a seasoned rock band; a tribute to INCREASE the innate music ability of one drummer.
